hours to end
seconds to start
the endless thinking
brain gears spinning out of control
thoughts demanding attention
trying to sleep
it keeps you awake
causing feelings in your stomach and chest
to match the madness in your mind
dangerously debilitating
finnaly they wear you down
as you slip into comatose
your body and brain exhausted from fighting
your eyes as red as the blood on your skin
your breaths slowing as you drift away
and you sleep
but the first breath awake
from a soft sad slumber
is a jumpstart
and everything wakes up
the thoughts are running like a raging river
loathing the time they lost as you dreamt
and now you're awake
staring at the ceiling fan
nauseous from the spinning
and the reality of being awake
